Ten years ago today Christophe and I went on our first official date and had our first kiss (in fact my first kiss ever). Its weird to think that we have been together for so long. We have both changed so much since that date, but for whatever reason we have changed in a complimentary way and we still seem pretty happy as a pair.

To start the day of right we wandered around the immediate area until we had located a delicious looking bakery, purchased some baked goods, and bought a bottle of champagne and OJ for mimosas. Back at the apartment we enjoyed our prizes and told Liam about our first date ten years ago. Sadly he couldn’t join in the mimosas – something about “having a job”.

After a bit we decided to stroll around the Tennonji area, doing some window shopping and people watching. Along the way we located a very cute new hoody for me – fall seems to be in full swing and my collection of sleeveless cycling tops doesn’t seem to be quite cutting it anymore.

Once we got hungry we began perusing the local restaurants and settled on an Italian place where we enjoyed risotto. After our late lunch we set off in search of a wine and cheese shop, but after an hour of no luck settled on Yellowtail and Ritz crackers from a local convenience store. Undeterred we headed back to the apartment where we enjoyed our wine while watching the sunset from the porch. After an hour or so Hiromi came home, joining us for the second bottle of wine. By the time we were done with that Liam was home, so we headed out to a surf bar for burger and beers. Actually I had an amazing shrimp and avocado sandwich.

A low key day, but perfect.
